I actually went to the site the read it. It is interesting. I saw the item about friendship. and it is in fact relies on citations from psychology to explain why people form friendships. Then it suggest if the observation from psychology is correct, then how can readers to use it as a double edge sword.

Sometime I feel even I know how to write code and build stuffs, but if I need to build something people wants, I need to gain insight into human psychology.

Who made you the arbiter of taste and decorum on this board? This is a user-driven website; what is popular is what we want to be popular. Of course PG can do things like block Valleywag but if he gets too cavalier about it the users will go elsewhere.
earning the right to vote made me an arbiter of taste. this post is a link to blog post that is just a collection of links to actual content. if one of those links contain an interesting proposition and research to support it, well then that might pique my intellectual curiosity.
